Description: | This appears to be a button, which the design has been based on a 16th century coin of the Counts of Schlick c. 1510-20 in what was Bohemia (now Czech Republic). The legend borders a central figure. The torso, arms and head of the figure are visible. Below the figure is a shield. The figure is wearing drapery, has a beard, is wearing a head dress and is holding a staff. To the left of the figure is a 'S' and to the right an 'I'. The figure interrupts a high relief border which has low relief oval cells. The shield is quartered which has a lozenge in the centre. Quarters one and four appears to have a lion rampant. Quarters two and three has a triangle with two pellets above. The reverse of the button has a slightly irregular border. The surface is flat, but is slightly irregular. In the centre is an integral lug which is 'U' shape. Both terminals are broken, not recently, so presumably this was a loop originally. The surface of the button is a dark grey colour and is slightly shiny, possibly pewter. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1510 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Angie Bolton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
